edit: Sources say the player is Jovan Belcher. Police have yet to confirm.

An unnamed Kansas City Chiefs player has committed suicide at the team facility and authorities are on the scene, the police confirmed to ESPN on Saturday morning.

Local reports say police are operating with the belief the player fatally shot his girlfriend at a house before driving to Arrowhead Stadium and killing himself at around 8 a.m local time. The Associated Press reported the player's age to be 25.

"We can confirm that there was an incident at Arrowhead earlier this morning," the Chiefs said in a statement. "We are cooperating with authorities in their investigation."

There were no other injuries at the team facility, police said.

The Chiefs (1-10) were preparing to host the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.

The NFL has told the Panthers to travel as planned to Kansas City on Saturday, the Charlotte Observer has reported, citing interim general manager Brandon Beane.

So Pioli preaches "Right 53" yet signs a guy that has some issues and has had some issues in college that are now coming out. Got it

Are college police records public? I know many campuses don't like to report the violence on their campuses because it hurts their image.

In addition, on paper he seemed to be doing things right with the 'Family and Child Development' major. Which, as I surmised yesterday, might have been an attempt to try to be different than something he experienced growing up.

I just don't know if there were enough red flags known to the Chiefs for them to say 'no thanks.' And if there were, don't you think they are having some serious remorse for not paying attention to them.

TAMPA, Fla. (SchnittShow.com) Monday, a caller on the nationally syndicated “Schnitt Show” claimed his family was terrorized by Jovan Belcher, the Kansas City Chiefs star who killed his girlfriend before taking his own life Saturday.

The caller, who raised his family on Long Island, says his son attended school with Jovan, who regularly bullied and beat up his son.

“We went to the police, we went to the Department of Education. We couldn’t do nothing about this kid. Around adults, he always acted like he was such a sweet little guy.”

The caller eventually had to relocate his family to Florida, just to get away from Belcher.

About Belcher, the caller said, “ He destroyed my family. He should have been dead 10 years ago.”

Finally, the caller said, “I’d like to know where he’s buried, so I can go and pee on it

No, I said his teammates could sympathize him if the chose to do so. AND I don't begrudge them for mourning the person they thought they knew. I still think they can. They obviously did not know the person we are now discussing.

Though cheating is not a big deal with these guys so I'm sure none of them will be a bit shocked at that revelation.
